He is portrayed by Javier Bardem. A former MI6 agent, he turns to cyberterrorism and begins targeting the agency he used to work for as part of a plan to discredit and kill M, against whom he holds a homicidal grudge.

Backstory

Skyfall establishes that Silva's real name is Tiago Rodrigues, and that he once specialized in cyberterrorism at Station H, the MI6 station based in British Hong Kong, before Hong Kong was returned to China in 1997.

When he ignored orders and hacked into the Chinese government's top secret files, the head of Station H, M (Judi Dench), allowed the Chinese to take him prisoner in exchange for the return of six captured agents and a peaceful handover.

He was tortured for five months until he attempted suicide by biting into a cyanide capsule
